Just a test folks!
FWIW, our grass is getting high, and the Amherst County Annual Historic
House Tour was a success!

If we are going to put the mail list system to a test, can I ask a
question that would help me decide what to buy for my library this
summer. I would like to read historical fiction in addition to my usual
diet of non-fiction this summer. I just bought the Allen Eckert books.
Would you please give me some ideas for really good historical fiction
that would lend insight into other parts of Virginia. Marsha in WV

A good historical novel about George Washington is Citizen Washington
by William Martin.

Moses,
I like the books by James Alexander Thom.
"Follow the River" (a novel about the capture and escape of Mary
Ingles.
A good bit is devoted to the topography of Western Virginia, following
the New River, eventually back to today's Virginia).
Also by Thom: "From Sea to Shining Sea," the story of the Clark
Family--George Rogers Clark, the Lewis & Clark Expedition.
His earliest book was "Long Knife," about George Rogers Clark.
"Panther in the Sky" - the story of the Shawnee Tecumseh and his
brother.
Set primarily in the Ohio Valley
"Warrior Woman" - the story of Nonhelema, sister to Cornstalk of the
Seneca.
She was their peace chief but when 3,000 Virginians attacked, she went
into battle.

A few years ago, I wrote a book-length ms. titled "The Literature of
Virginia." I never saw it to completion and gave it to the Va.
Historical Society. I covered many of the titles (all published) that
deal with the kinds of things you're interested in. Many of the titles
are obviously out of print but you might find some leads there.
Best,
Maurice Duke
bookfinder.com is an excellent source for out of print books

Apparently, mine went through, also, and didn't bounce.
Spring here in Alabama, but the summer heat will be here soon! My Mom
is a Virginian, so I consider myself one, too!
